GLUE ONE THING TO ANOTHER“Sometimes we are so confused and sad that all we can do is glue one thing to another. Use white glue and paper from the trash, glue paper onto paper, glue scraps and bits of fabric, have a tragic movie playing in the background, have a comforting drink nearby, let the thing you are doing be nothing, you are making nothing at all, you are just keeping your hands in motion, putting one thing down and then the next thing down and sometimes crying in between.”Lynda Barry

TAKE A FIKA BREAKStop working and fika. It’s a verb in Swedish that loosely means “to have a coffee break,” and usually involves coffee (or tea, if that’s your thing) and cake or pastry. The important part of fika is that you really stop what you’re doing and just be with the people around you. Fika isn’t a noun, it’s a verb, because a gentle action still deserves an action word.
